GMOs or genetically modified organisms have become quite a controversial topic in the past decade. In this podcast, we delve into the history behind GMOs, explain how they work, and discuss some of the technologies used to produce GMOs. This is part one of two and we plan to tackle why GMOs have become controversial in the next podcast. As always, our goal is not to tell you what to think but to give you the tools you need to make informed decisions and remove some of the fear and stigma associated with the science behind these controversial topics. If you have more questions feel free to contact us at [email protected] or on Twitter or Instagram @steministaspodSOURCES // Great article on GMOs: https://www.unfortunatephd.com/post/what-you-need-to-know-about-gmosFlavr Savr: https://www.genengnews.com/insights/mistakes-shorten-first-approved-gmos-shelf-life/Plant transformation: https://www.jic.ac.uk/blog/what-is-plant-transformation/Europe vs U.S.https://theconversation.com/how-we-got-to-now-why-the-us-and-europe-went-different-ways-on-gmos-48709History:https://www.fda.gov/food/agricultural-biotechnology/science-and-history-gmos-and-other-food-modification-processes Different types of gene editing: https://agbiotech.ces.ncsu.edu/q1-what-is-the-difference-between-genetically-modified-organisms-and-genetically-engineered-organisms-we-seem-to-use-the-terms-interchangeably/Defining a GMO: https://grist.org/food/mind-bomb-its-practically-impossible-to-define-gmos/Transgenic plants: https://www.biologydiscussion.com/plants/transgenic-plants/top-6-examples-of-transgenic-plants-genetics/84649Book: Mendel in the Kitchen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002U58AU0/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
